Chapter 322 Seriously injured by the siege

"Want to escape? Where is it so easy, chase me. Xiahoudun, who was holding back his anger in his heart, saw that his opponent wanted to escape, where he was willing to follow, and immediately led the army to chase him.

The 20,000 infantry also quickly dispersed after a command, and scattered it like a large net in all directions, chasing after the cavalry who seemed to be distracted, uncommanded, and like headless flies.

It's getting darker, and it's time to hold a torch to see your surroundings clearly. When the torches are lit one by one, from a distance, it looks like countless fireflies flying in the mountains and forests, and it is beautiful in an instant.

Seeing these bright torches in the dark, Zhang Chao couldn't help but smile and said: "Very good, Xiahoudun is still very acquainted, as if he was afraid that we would not find them, he actually took the initiative to light the torches and pointed us in the direction, that is, the whole army attacked." ”

"All-army attack." Zhang Chaojun gave the order, and suddenly the 100,000 infantry behind him rushed forward with a roar, and in the process of charging, there were countless arrow feathers that shot out first.

Xiahoudun ordered the soldiers to light the torches, and it was indeed an unexpected discovery, all the cavalry he had seen before were gone, and he was wondering where those people had gone, when suddenly the sound of whizzing arrows and feathers sounded all over the sky, and then he heard a burst of wailing from his own soldiers.

"Oh no, I've been tricked. Evacuate. Hearing this voice, Xiahoudun's face couldn't help but change greatly, and finally understood that he had fallen for the scheme, and immediately issued a military order.

It's just that at this time, I want to retreat, but it's not so easy. The torch illuminates everyone, just as it is to name the person who fires the arrow, but wherever there is a torch, it will inevitably be attacked by a wave of arrows.

"Quick, extinguish the torch." Seeing that the bows and arrows were shooting towards the shiny place, Xiahoudun hurriedly passed on a new military order.

The 20,000 infantry began to extinguish the torches one by one according to the military order, and for a moment the place became silent and changed, and it seemed that everything had returned to its previous quiet state.

Unable to hear the sound of archery, Xiahoudun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but before he could completely spit out this turbid breath, countless torches suddenly lit up beside him.

"What's going on? Didn't you say you weren't allowed to light the torches? Seeing that there were still torches being lit, Xiahoudun immediately shouted angrily.

"General Xiahoudun, you don't let your soldiers light torches, but you can't order my soldiers to do so. Zhang Chao is here, don't you get off the horse and surrender? Accompanied by Xiahoudun's shout, it was Zhang Chao's powerful voice, under the illumination of a torch, Zhang Chao, who was dressed in white armor, rode out on a white crane horse, and was three hundred steps away from Xiahoudun's body.

"It's the Great General!" Suddenly, he saw Zhang Chao here, and Xiahou was also stunned, shouldn't this Zhang Zhiyuan be in Xu Du? How did you end up here?

"Xiahoudun? You've been surrounded, and now you're surrendering, or you're still alive, have you ever thought about what to do? Zhang Chao saw that he had lured Xiahoudun out, so he shouted and asked, and at the same time, the army around him also began to surround him in a roundabout way.

Zhang Chao suddenly appeared here with a large army, which really shocked Xiahoudun, which really surprised him.

It's just that although it was unexpected, but worthy of being the first general under Cao Cao, after seeing that the person in front of him was Zhang Chao, and there was not much army in the night, he actually raised the cloud drilling gun in his hand high, and shouted to the generals behind him: "The general is here, if you can catch this person, the Lord will decide the affairs of the world, come here, kill with me, and snatch the miracle." ”

Xiahoudun even started Zhang Chao's idea, and just like that, he took 20,000 elite troops to cover up. Seeing this, Zhang Chao, who was riding on the white crane horse, couldn't help but sigh and said: "What a Xiahoudun, at this time, he is still thinking of charging, and he is really a tiger general." Generals, who will face the battle? ”

Zhang Chao actually compared Xiahoudun to a tiger general, which made Xu Huang, the commander of the Fifth Legion around him, very angry after hearing this, and immediately took the initiative to ask for battle: "Lord, Huang is willing to go." ”

"Okay, with Komeito going, I can rest assured." Zhang Chao saw that Xu Huang was going to fight, even if he nodded and agreed.

Zhang Chao agreed, and Xu Huang took the Open Heaven Axe, rode out on a Wusun horse, and greeted him with 20,000 soldiers. In the darkness of the night, I saw a dense pile of torches rushing straight away.

Xiahoudun is a tiger general, and so is Xu Huang. Both of them had their own thoughts, but they both did their best, and when they really caught up, they collided together, and then they were in a mess.

The soldiers of the Fifth Legion, under the leadership of the main general Xu Huang, had high morale, and when they rushed forward, they were all fighting with all their strength, because they knew that the Lord was watching them behind them, and this was the time for them to behave.

Cao Jun's 20,000 people are also very brave, for them, to be able to catch Zhang Chao, this is definitely the biggest temptation, before the absolute temptation, they have lost their minds, just thinking about one point in their hearts, that is, charge, catch Zhang Chao, everything can be over.

Both sides have their own demands and ideas, and this fight is destined to be very fierce and cruel.

In the era of cold weapons, once there is a war, it is necessary to see the red with a bayonet, and the body may be broken into several pieces in minutes, and its cruelty is far more ruthless than what is shown on TV. Just like now, as soon as the two armies fought, under a collision, hundreds of people fell to the ground with blood on their bodies, and then, the bodies of these people were trampled by their comrades or enemies behind them, and in the end, they couldn't even distinguish their faces.

A drill gun, mainly flexible and tricky, flashing up and down, making people unguardable.

An axe that opens the sky, mainly with great force and heavy momentum, slashes left and right, which makes people very afraid.

The two tiger generals were entangled together, and the collision of the gun and the axe caused bursts of sparks in the dark night.

When Xiahoudun fought with Xu Huang, Zhao Yun had already launched a fierce attack with 60,000 cavalry, including 40,000 dragon and tiger troops, and 50,000 men and horses guarding the baggage and grain and grass of Cao's army.

That is, not long after Xiahoudun left with the main force of 20,000 soldiers, Zhao Yun appeared, and then he galloped with 10,000 horses, rushing towards the 50,000 people of Cao's army.

Originally, it was dark night, and the strength of visual access was limited, and with the advantage of cavalry over infantry, Cao's army was at a disadvantage without fighting.

Under the gap in the number of personnel, the momentum of the war horse rushing with speed, so that at the beginning of the war, there was a great inclination, just resisted for more than an hour, the infantry appeared defeated and retreated, and the soldiers fell sharply, and the victory and defeat were divided.

When Zhao Yun led the cavalry to attack the 50,000 Cao army, the 20,000 people led by Xiahoudun were also surrounded by the soldiers of the Fifth Army who came later.

After defeating Yan Liang, the number of soldiers of the Fifth Legion was fully replenished to 100,000. Although there are 60,000 captives of Yuan Shaojun, these people's combat strength is not very strong, but if they are allowed to fight with the wind, there is no problem.

With 100,000 to 20,000, although the 20,000 soldiers led by Xiahoudun were all brave men, they still felt great pressure in the face of such a gap in strength, and they were surrounded by a sea of soldiers of the Fifth Legion.

Xiahoudun himself also became a one-on-two in the original one-on-one situation, and the opponent was Xu Huang alone, with more Dian Wei.

Dian Wei held the double halberd in his hand, and quickly swung it up and down, under the huge force, so that every time Xiahou Xuan's cloud drilling gun hit one more time, his arm couldn't help but tremble once, and after seventy rounds of matching, he finally couldn't bear it, because he was not in a hurry, and his arm was cut out of a deep hole by the iron halberd.

Under the flow of blood, Xiahou swept in front of him with a cloud drilling spear, and after forcing Dian Wei and Xu Huang to retreat, he fled with a horse, and fled in the direction of Xu Du under the protection of his own soldiers.

The shouts of the soldiers in the distance, Xiahoudun had already heard it in his ears, and he also knew that this time he had fallen into Zhang Chao's trap, this time the army was destined to be defeated, if he didn't flee now, he was afraid that he would probably be left here forever.

Xiahoudun fled with only nearly 100 personal soldiers, and at this time, Zhao Yun took the Dragon and Tiger Army to solve the 50,000 Cao army and collected a large number of weapons, grain and grass. Zhang Chao said: "Zilong, the task of pursuing Xiahoudun will be given to you." Remember, if you encounter reinforcements from Cao's army, you only need to join the six legions and return safely, and I will bring a large army to meet you at that time. ”

"Don't worry, the clouds are gone." After agreeing, Zhao Yun rode away with the Dragon and Tiger Army.

"Xu Huang took 50,000 soldiers to escort the prisoners and grain and grass, and the others followed me to Xu Du." After seeing Zhao Yun take a step forward with the cavalry, Zhang Chao immediately rushed back with Xu Shu, Dian Wei and the remaining 40,000 troops.

I have to say that the soldiers under Xiahoudun were indeed heroic, with 20,000 against 100,000, although the whole army was finally annihilated, they still managed to inflict a heavy loss on Zhang Chao's army of 10,000.

After saying that Xiahoudun rushed out of the encirclement with a hundred personal soldiers, he quickly headed in the direction of Xudu, he himself was wounded, and the 70,000 army was gone, which made his mood even heavier along the way.

Nearly dawn, Xiahoudun finally came to the cross slope, just here, I saw a team of people killed on the side of the road, and then a general with a nine-curved gun appeared in front of him, "Xiahoudun, I am Zhang He, and I will be captured before I am tied!" ”

"Zhang He?" As soon as he heard the name of the general, Xiahou was also shocked in his heart. He had seen this person, and he had heard the lord Cao Cao talk about this person's bravery more than once. Now that he was outnumbered and wounded, he was powerless to deal with it.
